I hope this helps!! I'm going full time this semester but I will be studying my micro every single day/night!

I just took my first quiz! BAM 100%. Granted, it was mostly about microscopes, but I'll take any 100 I can get!

Took my first exam yesterday, waiting to see the grade I received. This isn't going to be easy! (I must say I don't have the best professor, so most learning will be on my own:banghead:).

Does anyone have any good study skills or ANYTHING that can help me out, I really want to pass this class and not withdrawal. Just 3 more classes and I'm ready to sign up for the Nursing program. (withdrawling is the furthest thing from my mind so I need all the ideas for study and staying focused you guys have:)) Thanks in advance

Good study skills, hmm, here's a few:

- take good notes. I mean REALLY good notes. Especially since you're going to be basically teaching yourself.

- flash cards can be amazing!

- dont get behind

- stay head!

- study little by little every day instead of cramming.

Good luck!

To me this class was strictly memorization. I learned a lot and I am grateful for the professor that I had because now I am able to comprehend so much in my AP II course. Have an open mind about it and you will do great. This class is really fun in my opinion. Youtube can help with the DNA part

I had my first test a few days ago on Wednesday. I got a 69% and that was with curving. :/ I feel so lost in this class but i know i didnt study enough. one test is dropped at the end though.

The lab part of the class has me even more lost, we started our microscope quiz and I was the only one in class who didn't get any points and my lab group seemed annoyed by any questions I asked. I get another chance at the lab quiz on Wednesday but I already feel unconfident. :/
